Brookstone Bed Fan with Wireless Remote

UPDATE!!!I gave this fan to my boyfriend when I clearly (see 10/3/16 review below) hated this thing. He LOVES it! So I realized a few things that may help other potential buyers.1) My boyfriend does not have carpet so the fan stands up well without any feet added as some buyers have had to do.2) He put a bungee-cord around the fan and attached it to his metal bed frame so it doesn't move around when he moves around or moves his blankets.3) He placed the fan next to him on the side of the bed rather than at the foot of the bed and finds gentle airflow over the blankets keeps him cool as well as letting the air flow under the blankets.4) He put the cord under the bed and taped it down so it wouldn't get caught on anything since it's so thin.5) He loves the convenience of the fan's wireless remote and the adjustable settings.6) I find that I stay cooler too when I stay over even though the fan is on his side of the bed which is nice since we're both warm sleepers.Had to change to a 5 for him.10/3/2016 - PREVIOUS REVIEWI hate and love this fan every time I use it. Is it a piece of crap or is it amazing? I'm keeping it as it does cool me down but I have no idea how long this thing will last.PROS: - Lightweight - Filter fits under bed - Wireless remote works perfectly - Fan at height of bed provides steady stream of air (I have mine at the side of the bed now, see cons) - Cord is long enough to go under a bed and then someCONS: - The whole thing is very flimsy plastic (which I'm sure will break easily, especially if I have to adjust the height. Duct tape will be covering this thing at some point) - Can't use a bed skirt or use with a bedframe with no space underneath as it will block the fan - Horrible design so that the fan falls over all the time on carpet or whenever you move the blankets over the top of the fan (I will have to put feet on it like other people suggested but it's so light, I think it will get knocked around anyway. I may need to put a large weighted base on the bottom) - Cord is very flimsy adapter cord (not a thick cord I was thinking it would be for a fan - see picture) - Air does NOT work from the bottom of the bed as shown. Barely moved up 8-12" on the bed. I had to move the fan to my side in order to feel any cooling effect. With the fan on high, the air felt great, BUT.... - Fan is LOUD when on high and next to you - Constantly adjusting where fan should go in order to provide cooling air where I need it (doesn't distribute air as you would think)SUMMARY:I'm keeping it as it does provide air across the bed or under the sheets, but I don't know how long I'll really end up using it or how often. May be a nice guest room fan if I can't get it to work how I'd like. It was probably a waste of money as I could have gotten other fans at this price point. I'm going to work on the base for it or see if I can strap it to the bed somehow so it won't fall over or move the air every time I turn over. The other night it was really hot and it kept my back very nice and cool, though I had to keep adjusting it all night long. If I'd had a chance to test it out easily prior to purchasing, I would not have purchased and would have tried other products.

I purchased this fan as a Christmas gift directly from Brookstone on Amazon. The fan worked pretty good for a few months, though the touchy remote was a pain. After a few months, the fan started shutting off with very little movement in the bed and we realized the cord was coming loose. After trying to keep the cord in it, then the fan started making really loud noises and just sounded scary. We've come to depend on this fan at night because it is truly great WHEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I tried to contact Brookstone via Amazon and they claimed they could not locate my order so they needed me to call their customer service line. Once I called customer service, I was told the fan was under warranty so I could return it and within 2 days of them receiving it back, they would send me a replacement. It is now 7 days since they received the fan and I've heard nothing so I call their customer service again. This time it takes the rep quite some time to locate my order. When she finally does, she says the fan is on BACK-ORDER until October so they don't have another fan to send me. I remind her that I was told I would receive another fan right away after returning this one and she just made excuses about the other rep not knowing it was on back-order etc. Had I been informed they could not fulfill their promise to send another fan out once this one was returned, I may have tried to stick it out with this one until October. Now, we are left with no fan and not even an apology. Very disappointed in Brookstone and this product.

This fan would get a much higher review if the controller actually worked. It just kind of works when it feels like it, which in the middle of the night is absolutely frustrating. On the bright side, this thing definitely helps cool between the sheets making for more comfortable sleep. I have a king size bed and it is placed at the foot. It does not cover a wide enough area for this size bed, as my husband gets the majority of the air. If the controller worked properly I would consider ordering a second one for my side of the bed.

My wife loves it! I love it more!!! She is getting a better sleep which means I get a better sleep. Win win!

This is awesome
